Matt: “Demon-infested millennial religious worldview [and conspiracies] go together. There’s clearly been a descent. Jordan is not alone among our gurus to have this journey. Would he have been like this if he had not become a celebrity?”
Chris: “Jordan Peterson] appears to be a grandiose narcissist. He always saw himself as a revolutionary thinker with big ideas. He sought out a public profile. He wanted to be a commentator. He wanted to establish a religion, buy a church and give sermons. That’s not normal behavior. When you add to that his obsessions and wrestling with his religious devotion or lack of religious belief, that creates a heady stew. The partisan political ecosystem encourages him to give more takes and to have a financially rewarding pundit position. He’s now Alex Jones in a suit.”
